LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) and laminate flooring both have their advantages, however LVT is generally considered the more durable and versatile option for modern homes.
Benefits of LVT flooring:
Water resistant
Softer and quieter underfoot
More durable in kitchens and high traffic areas
No need for expansion gaps or scotia beading in many cases
Easier to maintain
Suitable for uneven subfloors when properly prepared
Benefits of laminate flooring:
Often slightly cheaper initially
Scratch resistant surface
Wide range of wood-effect finishes
If you are fitting flooring in kitchens, hallways or busy family spaces, LVT is often the preferred choice due to its durability and moisture resistance. Laminate can still be a great option for living rooms and bedrooms where moisture is less of a concern.
At SR Flooring, we can advise on the best flooring solution based on your room, lifestyle and budget.
-
In many cases, yes — a latex screed is recommended before fitting vinyl flooring.
Vinyl is a relatively thin flooring product, which means any imperfections, dips, grout lines or uneven areas underneath can often show through once installed. A latex screed helps create a smooth, level surface ready for fitting.
You may need a latex screed if:
The existing floor is uneven
Old tile lines or adhesive remain
The subfloor has cracks or imperfections
Different floor levels need smoothing out
You want the best possible finish
At SR Flooring, we always inspect the condition of the subfloor before fitting vinyl or LVT flooring and will advise honestly whether floor preparation is needed. Proper preparation helps ensure a professional finish and improves the longevity of the flooring.
-
Most carpet fitting jobs can usually be completed within a day, depending on the size of the area and the amount of floor preparation required beforehand.
Typical fitting times are:
Single bedroom – approximately 1 to 2 hours
Lounge or dining room – approximately 2 to 3 hours
Stairs and landing – usually half a day
Full house carpet installations – typically 1 to 2 days
Additional work such as uplift and disposal of old flooring, replacing underlay, moving furniture or floor preparation may increase installation times slightly.
At SR Flooring, we always aim to complete work efficiently while maintaining a high standard of workmanship and finish throughout every project. We’ll also discuss expected timings with you before fitting day so you know exactly what to expect.
